Hi there, David, and welcome to planDisney! Your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth will be here in just a few short weeks, and you must be getting so excited! Now is a great time to be thinking about those must-do activities, experiences, Character meetings, dining, and all of the fun details that will make your visit unforgettable.
David, I'm also a parent of a kiddo who is in their Stitch Era. And do you know what? It's so much fun! We were actually watching
Lilo & Stitch today!
When it comes to finding Stitch at Walt Disney World Resort, he doesn't currently have a set schedule for appearances. No worries - he often graces us with his presence at the Rocket Tower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland at
Magic Kingdom Park. While it's not a traditional meet and greet opportunity, I have some hilarious photos of interactions with Stitch as he danced across the stage.
Also, I want to encourage you to keep trying for an
Advance Dining Reservation at 'Ohana for the
Best Friends Breakfast with Stitch. I know it can be disappointing to see no available times on the date you'd like to dine, but Guests change their plans all the time. I've had great luck booking an 'Ohana reservation the day before I want to dine there. I don't want to get your hopes up too much, but I want to be sure you know that your persistence might just pay off!
If you do make it over to
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, be sure to stop by
Moana Mercantile on the second floor, where there's typically a great selection of Stitch-themed merchandise that your daughter might love!
David, you'll also find lots of Stitch merchandise throughout the Disney Theme Parks and at Disney Springs. My son has a Stitch backpack that he takes to school every day, and some epic Stitch socks that he wears more often than I care to admit. He likes to accessorize with his Stitch slap-bracelet and Stitch keychains (of varying sizes). We are also counting down the days until the live-action Lilo & Stitch movie that comes out next year!
I hope this is helpful as you plan your visit to Walt Disney World Resort! I hope your family has an absolute blast!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
